Hey Guys,
A smashing weekend to all of you. Sharing a vibe that i've been working on. It's a work i progress, sounds mainly from the Virus Ti.



Would love to get a feedback from you all, Your feedback is valuable to me and will immensely help in tuning and writing a good storyline. Hope you guys enjoy the space that i am trying to create. I intend to make this a nice 6-7min length track

Boom!

 

Hey, you have an excellent base here! It creates a special, futuristic ambiance, thanks to your pads and, at some moments, the subtle harmonies (plucks and arps) in the highs.

What I can suggest is only that, suggestions, but the best one should be to do exactly what you want, depending of your inspiration.

1. The bass sound starting since the beginning could be reinforced... in the bass frequencies, simply by doubling it with a more bassy and gritty sound, the goal here could be to render it more impressive, more epic. IMHO the first impression here is absolutely capital, your sound should impress and impose itself to the audience. For example you could try to double (or triple) it with a sampled symphonic orchestral sound (composed of acoustic brasses, strings and winds, all that mixed in the same sound). The brass in particular should add more "grittiness" more "harshness" to your sound. You could also try some modular-analog magic growling bass (smartly saturated)... Many possibilities here!

2. At 0:45, we could expect a melody - a theme - of some sort. It could be subtle or voluntarily prominent or even aggressive or... It is important because a melody - or a voice - here could gives the overall ambiance, like a direction, for the rest of the song. The imagination here is very important, adding a thing like an intriguing melody should "carry" your song to the next level... Why not trying an opera / classical or ethnic solo female voice?

3. The woodblock sound is a nice addition, but why not going farther on this way by adding more percussions? The goal here could be to enrich the rhythmic part of your song at some carefully chosen moments... It could be very subtle, or more deep and dramatic, it could even be poly-rhythmic... Something African, maybe? Or South-American? Or even totally electronic sounds? Anyway, the goal here could be to add more mystery / deepness / futuristic and tribal vibe at the same time, playing with the contrast between natural, ancient, shamanic percs (and flutes?) and the great modernity of your synths...

Hope you find these humble suggestions useful, whatever you'll finally do just remember this thing: the impact of any song, and especially your kind of song, is very, very important. If the listener is impressed, he-she will remind this impression for a long time.

This musical moment you create should be special, intriguing, intimate, different and inspiring, making the listeners think, dream or even dance, whatever your goal is, the essential is to express, to communicate your difference and special inspiration to others, and I wish you many, many others.

It sounds nice and chill so far. The first good "woodblock" percussive strike is a bit popping out of the mix. I like the breakdown and keys there at about 1:30, it reminds me of some tracks by Opiou.

 

Thank you so much for a beautiful and detailed feedback. Really appreciate it and i've taken these notes, makes more sense.
